The 21-year-old was helped off midway through the first half of Tuesday’s comfortable 3-0 victory against Reading.

The winger could not put any weight on his right foot while exiting the Molineux pitch after what appeared an innocuous challenge. Team-mate Matt Doherty said after the game that an assistant referee told him Wolves’ winger had rolled his own ankle.

But first indications show that the ankle, which was severely swollen after the game, is not as bad as first feared.
